NTR: biota, marine biota

[meichen-liu]

Cross reference EnvironmentOntology/envo#1120 (comment)

Dear PCO team,

With reference to the ENVO issue above, I'd like to request the addition of "biota" and "marine biota" to PCO. We've noticed that you have "biota" as a related synonym to "cellular organisms" but would appreciate the explicit addition of "biota" as this is required for some work that we are involved in. Please let me know if the definitional form is okay and if I should fork and make a pull request (or if you would rather add the term yourself).
